THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.

There never has been any law passed
by congress since congress was that hal
been as unfairly treated as this inter
state commerce law has been. Before
its passage it was regarded most hope
fully by all classes as an antidote to the
complained Of exactions and injusticei
Of railway corporations. Now that II
has passed, every obstruction and mis-.
construction that can be put upon 1t In
order to make 1t appear odious is sad
died upon Its back, without the least
reference to the justice or injustice,
relevancy or irrelevancy of such q pro-
oeeding. The Interstate law was orig
inally called into being by demand OF
the popular sentiment for some restric-
tiOn upon the unequal rates levied by
railway corporations. In many instances
these railways owned large real estate
interests in certain towns. By discrim-
mating against all their rivals IN the
way Of freight charges these cities in
which the railways were interested
were built up at the expense Of others
In many instances the grain elevators
and stock yards at certain favored points
were owned in whole or in part by rail-
way corporations, and the freight sohed-
ules were directly arranged with refer
ence TO the advantage of such trade To-
cations. State regulations could not
avail against this evil, as no
state could control the tariff or
legislate for the regulation of a rate
beyond it's own borders. An act Of con-
gress was see IN to be necessary and that
act was passed. This act, demanding
the cessation OF all pooling operations on
the part of the railways, the roads have
raised rates to suit themselves, oompeti.
tion being practically at end. or the
roads agreeing TO raise all rates to bring
interstate law into disrepute. The mer-
chants and, in too many instances the
press, not waiting for the interstate
commission to redress these grievances,
have very foolishly and thoughtlessly
charged them upon the law, when the
truth is they are chargeable upon the in
tent and endeavOr OF the railways to
bring the law into disrepute. The inter-
state law Is NO more responsible for this
increase In charges than is the command,
thou shalt not steal for the theft of the
prisoner before the bar. There is no
doubt that many Of these :Outcrles arise
from the very parties who have hereto.
fore enjoyed special railway faVOrs at
the expense OF their neighbOrs. The In
terstate commerce law 10 one coveringa
very untried and hitherto UNEMPLOYED
domain OF legislation. Its early form
will necessarily be found crude and i'm
perfect, but under the hand Of the intel
ligsnt commission invested with Its exc
cution it will be rendered practical and
available for the uses for which 1t was
brought into being. The wise citizen
will wait the issue of events and not
condemn the law because its enemies
have attempted to make il odious.

DAN RICE.
Some Incidents in the Life of the Clown
who Recently Lived In San
Antonio

VINO htCDLbly llNbA III ottA
Antonio,
Dan Rice, the we'll known "clown OF
our dnddIes," who stayed in this city
some weeks ago, and soJourned among
us is now "lion" 10 Cincinnati, and a
good story is told ofhim during the civil
war. When IL broke out Dan had a
steamboat show running on the Missis'
sippi, and was under engagement TO APP
pear at Mobile, Memphia, and other i'm
portant points in the confederate lines,
but he was quite equal to the OCCASION.
Business to him was business, and
patriotism was second consideration,
so he hoisted the confederate flag and
flung IL to the breeze whilst In the south,
but as he gradually worked his way into
the federal lines the stars and stripes
flOated from the main mast. Some years
after Dan showed his patriotism by
erecting handsome monument In Erie,
Pa, which IL inscribed as follows: ITO
the memory of the soldiers Of Erie
county who fell In defence of their cOun-
ty, erected by Col. Daniel Rice"
Talking of Dan, IL is fact that some
years ago he boosted himself for presi-
dent. 1t advertised him, but Of course
he did not get there, and didn't expect
TO. 1t was simply an advertising dodge.
Some idea OF the earnings Of Dan
Rice may be gained from the fact that
in 1865 Forepaugh engaged him for So
600 year and for two seasons, after It
he WAS retained at 81, so. This shows
it takes q wise man to be q "fool" and
evidences the truth of the axiom, "a
fool makes money where wise man
starves." Dan is we'll fixed now but
spends his time pushing his claim to the
estates of his father u. 5. McHaren, OF
which he Is heir and from which he
hopes to secure a colossal fortune.

On Saturday last Mrs. Amos Cawman
procured from the meadow what was sup
posed to be bnrdock root of which to make
tea for medicinal use. A portion thereof
was Clipped up and set upon the stove
with water to brew. While waiting for
the tea 10 boil Mrs. Cawman and her
daughter and little grandchild each par
took OF 4 small portion of the raw root,
and in very short time were seized with
terrible sickness and vomiting. Drs. Reed
and Allen We're called in and by prompt
measures succeeded in bringing the daugh-
ter and the grandchild out of danger, but
Mrs. Cawman is still suffering from the
effect of the unwholesome dose. Fortu-
nately none az the tea was partaken of.
The physicians stated that had it been
drunk As was intended it would have been
fatal. The root was pronounced TO be
poke root.
